Petition Asking for Communication
OfKidd's Sentence. &c.

To-day is the time set by Judge In
gram. Of the Hastings Court, for SEN
fencing Lewis p. Kidd, who was CON
yicted of shooting Thomas Cailigan,
and by the jury given one year in the
penitentiary; also, for counsel for Kidd
to file their bills of exception on which
an appeal can be taken.
Since the conviction of Kidd peti-
ton has been gotten up and Is now
being circulated, and will be pre-
sented to the Governor in a day
or two, asking that Kidd's SEN
tence be commuted TO imprisonment
for the same length of timain the city
jail. All of the jurors who tried the
case, with few exceptions, have signed
the paper, and these have signifed their
Willingness to do so when it is present
ed to them. 1t has also received the
signatures of large number of the
most prominent citizens, including
many of Mr.. Calligan's friends, who
think Kidd should be punished, but
who are willing that he shall spend
the time in the Jail instead of the peni-
tentiary.
The chief reasons that have led the
people to give their signatTesare sym
patty for the young wife and child Of
prisoner and for his parents, especially
his mother, who has been made i'll by
the heavy distress brought on her, and
the additional reasons as set out In the
paper that Kidd may have felt it his
duty to shoot in defending his father
from insult or bodily harm.
Should the Governor take favorable
action no appeal from the sentence as
ameliorated will be taken.

Gaunt famine stalks through the ma
tons capital. That kind OF famine,
however, has nothing to do with the
matter OF victuals. II relates entirely
to men. Yes, any of the women will
tell you with hollow laugh that men
are commanding famine prices. There
are not enough to go around. No lady
can be helped twice. The supply for
the season is limited and has to be very
carefully husbanded. Society is in an
open boat iii mid-ocean, and has TO
live on the smallest possible allowance
of man. The strictest impartlality
is maintained in dealing out
the precious article. At large
receptions one man is dealt out TO
every thirty women. AT teas the ration
is increased slightly by an extra al
lowance of boy. At germans the exi-
gencies of the case require full ration
Of man, otherwise the procession can't
move. At dinners the entire commits
sariat is issued, and everybody gets, so
TO speak, square meal. Shoals of
girls come every season, and the market
is glutted. What is wanted is system
of invitation of men instead of girls by
everybody. The most popular house
would be the one where six "lovely l"
young men were guests. The difficulty
in the way is to find the men who can
be spared to come here.
Winter being the business season
everywhere, young men, who are the
class most needed, are too busy. There
is, however, large leisure class of
youngsters at the North and in some OF
the great western cities who can afford
to idle away a winter here. Certainly
the number in the South who could
afford the luxury Of the season is very
small. They have something else

of st. John and 4th verse, "Ye will

enumerated why sinners will not come
TO Christ were
/. Wilful ignorance of Christ
.. Their own hearts rebel against
Christ.
3. Ignorance Of their own condition.
4. They would come, but have sinned
so much and SO repeatedly that they
fear Christ will not accept them.
These points were severally dwelt
upon and forcibly explained.

NINATU ISLAND.
wonderful Outbreak of Natures
Hidden Forces.
[San Francisco Chronlcle.l

The story of wonderful volcanic
outbreak on the little island of Ninatu,
situated in close proximity to the
Friendly group in the South Pacific
Ocean, was yesterday narrated by a
sailor to reporter.
The man had been serving on the
colonial steamer Suva, which phys from
Leonk, Fiji, around the South Sea is
lands, and was on the steamer when she
visited the scene of the disaster, The
main incidents were told to him by a
trader who was on the island.
The island of Ninatu is small and of
a round shape. In its centre there
used to be a large, clear lake, studded
with islets, and it looked as if the lake
occupied the crater of some extinct vol
cano. A very lovely spot was this
island before the eruption, covered as
it was with vegetation, cocoanut-trees,
bananas, bread-fruits, and gardens,
where the natives cultivated patches of
yams, taro, and sweet potatoes. But
now it looks Ike a great gray mass of
volcanic rock, covered with ashes and
lava.
On the night of August %, 1886, the
natives were startled by earthquake
shocks, heavy lightning and thunder
and rain. They were so scared that the
six villages on the east side of the
island were abandoned, and in COM
pany with three white traders the ma
tives went to the lee or west shore.
The quakes and storm continued for
three days, and on the 3lst of August
a huge pillar of flame shot up from the
centre Of the lake, accompanied by
volumes of boiling water and
showers of stone and pumice. The
waters Of the lake boiled and seethed,
and then from its bosom cone of land
started up. -Four craters upon this
new upheaval began to yomit fire,
stones, ashes, and scoria, covering the
island and burning up every particle OF
vegetation. This war of the elements
continued for ten days, and everything
was covered with volcanic dust to the
depth of many feet. A canoe, which
the natives used to 60 across to another
island for shelter, was buried thirty
feet under ashes and lava, and they had
Just succeeded in digging it out when
the steamer Suva hove in sight. Ii was
found that the natives had but five days
provisions, and that, although the vol
canic commissions had ceased, they were
very much frightened. AS the Suva
could not carry many passengers, she
went over to Tonga, and two schooners
were dispatched to the relief of the suf-
ferers. A plentiful supply of bread,
fruits, bananas, taro, and yams were
taken, and the natives will be trans
ported to other lands, as the entire crop
of their lands on Ninatu has been de-
stroyed.
The captain of the Suya sounded all
round the island and ascertained that
the water in the harbor had increased
in depth. Land and sea-birds that
were numerous before the eruption had
entirely deserted the island, and where
wasa smiling landscape is now desolate
lava and pumice-covered scene Vol
umes of steam were ascending from
the lake when the Suya left on her re-
tnrn "trip 10 Fill
